Hi,

Looks like your database is using raw devices. Did you check if this block device exist '/dev/mapper/oraSMSTG_data_010_8600Mp6' and if user oracle has full access to it ?

Do you have a backup of this file ? You can restore this database from backup using RMAN and then open db.
Is this DB running in archive log mode ?

regards,
